Porsche is hard at work on another 911 GT2, but this one will have a few key changes over its predecessor.

Speaking with Car Advice, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume all but confirmed the automaker is working to bring back the 911 GT2. Bad news? We won’t be getting a manual option. And now, the good news – the new 911 GT2 will still be rear-wheel-drive, and it will still push out massive power from its turbocharged flat-six. After all, the GT2 has always been a 911 Turbo on steroids.

“For the GT2, it’s very typical to have big power combined with the turbo engine,” Blume said. “Today we can’t talk about the power, but when we launch the car, I think you will see at which level we can get to … and we’re still working [on] it.”
